Description: "Wagner's flight to Zurich was not the first but it was the most dramatic escape act of his life and it had a decisive effect on his later career. The most productive years of his life were spent in the "unhoused" state of exile. The composer never broke free of the condition of exile. The sudden flight from Zurich meant that he was never really at home anywhere else, not in the places where he actually lived such as Tribschen or Bayreuth, and not in the locations where he wanted to live such as Munich and Vienna. This year's Festival Symposium will study and re-survey Wagner's "locations" from this central perspective of exile. The aim is to shed light on Wagner's relationships with these locations and on their relationships with him."--Symposium web site, English page: "Zuricher Festival Symposium: Exile as a Form of Existence : Richard Wagner's Locations."
